About Jen
Many women in midlife feel a sense of being stuck; I understand this because I have experienced it too.
My journey into coaching wasn't a sudden leap, but a gradual unfolding rooted in a deep desire to help others, a calling I first answered decades ago supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. For years, I poured my heart into this work. However, as I navigated my late 30s and early 40s – a time when I, like many women, began to re-evaluate my purpose – I experienced burnout. The perfect storm of the Covid-19 pandemic amplified this discomfort. Working tirelessly amidst constant understaffing, I felt the weight of responsibility, a stark contrast to my early morning mindfulness practices. I was striving for calm, yet often left work feeling worse, acutely aware of the gap between who I wanted to be and how I was showing up. This growing discomfort became the catalyst for leaving a career that had defined me for over 20 years. Unlike previous burnout episodes, this time brought a surprising peace. I didn't have all the answers, but I trusted I would figure it out – a stark contrast to the indecisive person I had been, especially after losing my father. The fear of making the 'wrong' decision or saying anything that could make someone else feel sad was a heavy backpack I'd carried since navigating the 'emotional bumps and bruises' of my family life and had often paralyzed me. But even amidst the chaos, a spark of hope remained. That's when I found mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation for me was like my aha moment. I began to understand that inner peace wasn't external but internal. And the practice of gratitude shifted my perspective. Now, as a mindfulness-based coach and meditation teacher, I empower women in midlife who might feel that same sense of being stuck, stressed, or uncertain. Because I've walked this path of feeling overwhelmed and indecisive, I have a deep empathy and practical understanding of how to help you break free and trust your own inner wisdom. It's about progress, not perfection, and learning to set boundaries with that unhelpful inner critic we all have. Through my Empowered MIND Framework, I guide women in midlife to cultivate profound self-compassion and intuitive clarity for confident decision-making. If any part of my story resonates with you, if you're a woman in midlife feeling that pull towards a more authentic and intuitive life, I invite you to connect.
The Empowered MIND Framework
The Empowered MIND Framework is your compass for navigating midlife with purpose, presence, and profound self-compassion. This four-step signature system guides you to cultivate inner wisdom, quiet your inner critic, and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
M – Mindful Presence (Awaken Your Awareness)
Description: Learn to anchor yourself in the present moment, observing thoughts and emotions without judgment. This foundational step helps quiet the internal noise, creating space for deeper self-awareness and inner peace.
Keywords: Presence, Awareness, Stillness, Observation, Grounding.
In this foundational step, you'll learn to anchor yourself in the present moment. We'll explore practices that quiet the constant mental chatter, allowing you to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This creates essential inner space, fostering deeper self-awareness and a calmer, more grounded way of being amidst the demands of midlife.
I – Intuitive Compass (Listen to Your Inner Wisdom)
Description: Develop a profound connection to your innate intuition, distinguishing between gut feelings and fear. This step empowers you to trust your inner compass, guiding you towards aligned decisions.
Keywords: Intuition, Inner Wisdom, Trust, Listening, Guidance.
Here, we'll cultivate your innate ability to access and trust your intuition. You'll learn to distinguish between genuine gut feelings and the noise of fear or external expectations. This step empowers you to confidently lean into your inner knowing, guiding you toward decisions that are deeply aligned with your authentic self and true desires.
N – Nurturing Compassion (Embrace Your Authentic Self)
Description: Cultivate radical self-compassion, silencing the harsh inner critic and embracing your authentic self with kindness. This step builds resilience and allows you to navigate challenges from a place of love, not judgment.
Keywords: Self-Compassion, Kindness, Inner Critic, Self-Acceptance, Authenticity.
This vital step focuses on transforming your relationship with yourself. We'll build powerful self-compassion practices that actively quiet the harsh inner critic, replacing self-judgment with profound kindness and understanding. You'll learn to embrace your imperfections and navigate challenges from a place of love and acceptance, fostering immense inner resilience.
D – Decisive Clarity (Act with Confident Purpose)
Description: Integrate presence, intuition, and self-compassion to make clear, confident decisions that align with your deepest values. This final step empowers you to take purposeful action, stepping into your next chapter with refreshing perspective.
Keywords: Clarity, Decision-Making, Purpose, Confidence, Action.
In this final stage, you'll integrate all the wisdom gained from presence, intuition, and self-compassion. You'll gain the tools and confidence to make clear, values-aligned decisions for your midlife journey. This step empowers you to take intentional action, stepping into your next chapter with refreshing perspective, unwavering purpose, and authentic self-assurance.
